Retail merchants at Pittsburg report
improved trade, and country dealers
buy liberally, while payments are more

Adverse weather at Cincinnati has re

plies move freely and show factories
are receiving large fall orders. Easter
trade at Chicago exceeded last year's,
but bad weather this week has inter
fered with retail business. Country
merchants report a good spring trade
and a bright outlook.
Better weather at Minneapolis in
creased retail trade to the best point
of the year. Lumber is in good de
mand, but the supply of logs is inad

NEW CAPITOL
BILL AT MADISON
Senate Committee Would Appro
priate $700,000 for the Erec
tion of a West Wing.
Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis., April 28.The propo
sition to build a new capitol is emerging
from the nebulaes state, a bill provid
ing for the erection or a west wing,
costing not more than $700,000, being
introduced in the senate this morning
by the committee on capitol and
grounds.
The bill was sent to the committee on
claims, does not define the style of
structure, but it is generally believed
here that eventually the state capitol
will be similar in general lines to the
national building at Washington.
Speaker Lenropt of the assembly is
determined to make the 'house work
hard the remainder of the session, aner
this morning announced that hereafter
he would grant no more leaves of ab
sence except in cases of sickness, leav
ing the responsibility for the granting
of the same with the house.
Mr. Braddock, for the committee on
railroads in the assembly, introduced
a bill strengthening the antipass law
and prohibiting public officials from
using passes, franks or gratuities. The
bill to authorize cities or the first class
to establish, maintain and operate a
municipal ice plant was passed by the
assembly.
The assembly with but one dissenting
voice passed the employee bill recom
mended by Governor Lafollette and
defining the liability of railroad com
panies.

May Be Ordered Home to Clear
Up Case Against Assistant ft
Secretary. V^-v
Washington, April 28.Secretary
Taft is considering the advisability of
ordering Minister Bowen, at Caracas,
to report forthwith in Washington to
explain his charges against Assistant
Secretary of State Loomis. The
charges in question, Mr. Bowen con
veyed to Secretary Taft in a personal
letter. If President Eoosevelt assents
to Secretary Taft's order for the return
of Mr. Bowen, it will be issued imme
diately.
The charges were first published in
the New York Herald. Mr. Loomis has
taken them up in order, answering
them as follows:
These charges were In substance, first,
that while acting in my official capacity
as minister to Venezuela I obtained con
siderable pecuniary benefits fiom the
New York & teermudess Asphalt company
and that a check showing' the payment of
$10,000 to me by that company is now in
the possession of President Castro.
This charge is an absolute falsehood.
I never asked nor received, directly or
indirectly, in any manner or form any
money or property or anything of value
or promise, or suggestion thereof, from
the New York & Bermudez company, or
from any one acting in its interests or
behalf.
A Business Transaction.
Americans who have lived in Caracas
know that rates of exchange between the
United States and "Venezuela are high
there, owing to the unsettled conditions in
Venezuela, and that at times it is impos
sible to purchase New York exchange at
Caracas. On my final departure from
Venezuela as minister I had money in a
bank in Caracas. I wished to convert my
Venezuelan money Into United States
money, and I exchanged checks at the
posted United States government rates
with the manager of"^the New York &
Bermudez company at Caracas, my check
to the company calling for Venezuelan
money, and his check to me calling for
United States money. It was a simple
business transaction.
No Claim Against Venezuela.
The second charge made is that while
minister to Venezuela I purchased a
claim of 20,000 bolivars, or $4,000, against
the Venezuelan government, and then
used my influence as minister to collect
the full amount from the government I
never purchased or owned or had any
interest in any claim against the Vene
zuelan government, and I never prose
cuted, any manner or form, any claim
against that government except in obe
dience to instructions from the secretary
of state, after submitting a full report of
the case to him
The third charge is that I agreed with
Mr. Meyers to use my influence to adjust
an obligation to the amount of $10,000.01)0
for a consideration of one-seventh of that
sum, or nominally $1,400,000,
I never agreed or promised or sugges
ted, directly or indirectly, in any mannei
whatever, that I would use my influence1
to adjust any obligation against the Ven
ezuelan government,
lutely false.
The charge is abso-
